People in the world are all chasing each other in a hurry. They can't escape the words "seven emotions, six desires, wealth and sex," and they can't break the false and grotesque thoughts of immortality. In the end, they will all perish together. It's very important.
Let’s say that when winter passes and spring returns in the Devil’s City, it is still lonely and deserted. Even the cruel scenes of violent murders and bloody horrors have settled in the changes of nature.
Peng You's remaining consciousness is still floating in the Devil's City. He never thought that he would have to face this eternal loneliness alone.
Unconsciously, darkness enveloped his whole body, and there were no more carved or painted buildings around him. A faint light appeared from the entrance of a passage. He rushed towards the light and squeezed into the narrow passage.
Peng You used his last strength to squeeze out of the darkness. Suddenly, he saw two ice sculptures in front of him, which were clearly his parents.
He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, shouting: Mother, Father.
The sculptures of Bai Ling and Zuo Bing in front of Peng You seemed to be awakened by Peng You's constant calls. Bai Ling opened his eyes first, then Zuo Bing opened his eyes. The two looked at Peng You who was kneeling on the ground and smiled.
Peng You said with tears: "Under the Nine Springs, you can see that your parents have fulfilled their lifelong wish."
Zuo Bing stood up slowly, walked to Peng You, helped him up and said, "My child, you are suffering." Zuo Bing said and gently held Peng You in his arms, sighing constantly.
Peng You saw his mother's kind and beautiful face, listened to her gentle and kind tone, was held in a warm embrace, smelled her mother's body fragrance and peaceful breath, and felt extremely sweet in his mouth.
At this moment, even though I thought I was in the underworld, I still felt extremely happy and at peace in my heart. I had forgotten all my sorrows and troubles, and all my worries were forgotten.
He was tenderly relying on his mother when he suddenly heard a scolding voice, but it was Bai Ling's voice: "How can we fall into the love of sons and daughters before our great cause is accomplished? How can we be trapped in the deep love of licking calves before our last wishes are fulfilled!"
Peng You suddenly woke up from this scolding, and felt a strong wind blowing up. The originally dark scene around him turned into a blur of light and dark, and there was no trace of his parents.
In the interplay of light and shadow, Peng You's remaining consciousness seemed to be cut and reorganized. For a moment, his thoughts were turned upside down. He could no longer tell whether it was a real illusion, whether it was the past or the future, and he could no longer distinguish the length of time or the speed of time.
When the false becomes true, the true is also false, and there is something inaction and nothingness.
Hey! Peng You burst out with a cry in his last thoughts, breaking through his own prison and stirring up all the spiritual power in his body. He who had defeated himself and the world could also defeat nothingness!
Peng You suddenly opened his eyes, and a huge stone statue appeared in his eyes. At this time, he was standing in front of the stone statue, with the warm sun above his head just a few steps away. On both sides of Peng You stood Yao Yan'er and Zuo Yan. .
The three of them looked at each other in horror, with the power rising in their bodies that could break out into battle at any time.
Peng You looked at the intact Zuo Yan, and Zuo Yan looked at the frowning Yao Yan'er. None of the three dared to move, but Zuo Yan raised the fireball in his hand first and was about to attack Yao Yan'er.
But Yao Yan'er hurriedly shouted: "Sister Yan, don't take action, we have never set foot in the Devil City! Everything just now was an illusion!"
Hearing this, Peng You suddenly realized that the three people who had not moved were just killing each other in the dizzy state. However, he suddenly thought that if he died in that state, he would not be able to resurrect, so what? were able to escape.
When Zuo Yan heard this, he also knew that he was unharmed and was not killed by Yao Yan'er. He withdrew the power of the fire spirit and looked around, just as his eyes were about to see the stone statue.
Yao Yan'er hurriedly waved her hand to stop him and said: "Stop looking at the eyes of that stone statue. It was those eyes that made us fall."
Peng You asked hurriedly: "Yan'er, how did you know this?"
Yao Yan'er replied: "At first I had doubts about how the scene in the Devil's City could be like that, but the dazzler is really good at it. He can fake it and look real without missing a single flaw."
Yao Yan'er continued: "The person who designed this stone statue mechanism used our inner demons to create our own illusions and kill each other. Little did we know that the three of us had already given hints not to kill each other."
At this moment, Peng You remembered Yao Yan'er's expressed belief in Zuo Yan not to kill anyone, but he didn't expect that Yan'er had also expressed the belief in herself and her not to kill each other.
Peng You nodded slightly and said: "So that's it. The other party's illusion of killing people is not our wish after all. We just don't know who designed this stone statue, and it's so amazing!"
Yao Yan'er thought: "I'm afraid it's your father Bai Ling. He once worked with the teacher. I'm afraid he is even better at such clever tricks."
Peng You frowned and said, "Although we have encountered this danger before we even set foot in the Devil's City, the three of us should not separate and search inside again."
Zuo Yan said coldly from the side: "Who knew it was not an illusion at this time!" These words shocked Peng You and Yao Yan'er.
Yao Yan'er also knew that Zuo Yan had doubts about herself and Peng You because of the illusion, so she hurriedly said: "Sister Yan, although we had some discord at first, we have been together for half a month and feel that you are extremely beautiful. I only treat you as brothers and sisters. Alien heart."
After Zuo Yan heard this, he felt relieved, lowered his eyebrows and said, "Sister, it's my fault." Seeing that the two of them were supporting each other, Peng You felt at ease and didn't stay any longer, heading towards the Devil's City.
The three people walked around the stone statue, only to see a dilapidated scene. After walking a few steps, they felt that the devil city was as hot as summer, and the huge sun above their heads was shining in the sky, unwilling to let go of any darkness.
Peng You, Yao Yan'er, and Zuo Yan were all wearing winter clothes. Zuo Yan was able to survive the fire, which was okay. Peng You and Yao Yan'er had not walked a few steps, but they were already sweating profusely.
Seeing this, Yao Yan'er quickly used the power of the ice spirit to hold Peng You's hand. The two of them instantly felt refreshed and cool.
Peng You wondered: "Why is it so hot here?"
Zuo Yan said: "I heard that Devil City is located next to a desert volcanic crater. There was an eruption decades ago, and half of the city was destroyed, but there has been no movement since."
Hearing this, Yao Yan'er asked: "Is this why this city was abandoned?"
Zuo Yan shook his head and said, "Although the volcanic eruption destroyed part of the city and killed and injured some people, the cooling of the magma left precious metals in it, which actually made this place rich. Many foreigners came here to hunt for treasures."
Peng You frowned slightly and said, "If this is the case, how could this place be like this because it is more prosperous?"
Zuo Yan added: "I heard that more than 20 years ago, a plague killed half of the city's people."
Yao Yan'er said: "Then everyone in the remaining half of the city can escape?"
Zuo Yan sighed: "The people in that half of the city were afraid that they would be implicated, so they gathered all the infected people and burned them to death, but they didn't expect that the dark wind blew up that night and burned the entire city."
Zuo Yan continued: "The residents in the city fled in all directions, but they did not know that divine power appeared and sealed the gates in all directions. It is impossible to conclude that everyone in the city died in the smoke and fire."
"Divine power?" Peng You and Yao Yan'er were shocked when they heard this and asked, "Why is that?" Both of them thought of the power of the tide.
Zuo Yan shook his head slightly and said: "I heard the story of this devil city. There were no survivors back then, but the specific details are unknown."
As the three of them talked, they had walked a while and saw ruins on both sides of the road. There were still signs of life left in the half-collapsed houses.
The corpses of Devil City residents who died of illness or suffocation were covered in it. Occasionally, the hand bones of people who struggled to crawl out of the ruins could be seen, or the weathered white bones and withered legs could be seen.
Peng You was walking forward, holding Yao Yan'er's hand. Yao Yan'er was also frightened when she saw the desolate place, with bones exposed, and took Zuo Yan's hand, and the three of them walked together.
When the three of them reached the intersection in front of them, they all stopped. They were hesitating, but they didn't know that on the side of the road they had just passed, a skeletal finger behind them was slightly raised.
